What are Parish Councils For?

The reason I ask this is to bring some sense into the ongoing debate about the future of local Government. I lived near Rotherham in my younger days and we has a Vicar called the Rev Atherton. He was also responsible for an excellent Sunday School, lots of trips to the Seaside, and a Sunday Evening Youth Club. Here is what he told the local Brinsworth Parish Council there in 1960 and I think it still stands. He was not well received at the time.

Maybe we could take in some of what he said all those years ago.
